Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Perampanel (Fycompa) is approved for adjunctive therapy to treat primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients aged 12 years and older as well as the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondarily generalized seizures in patients with epilepsy aged 4 years and older.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

180-980 ng/mL

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

The serum concentration should be interpreted in the context of the patient's clinical response and may provide useful information in patients showing poor response or adverse effects, particularly when perampanel is coadministered with other anticonvulsant drugs.

 

Most individuals display optimal response to perampanel with serum levels 180 to 980 ng/mL. Some individuals may respond well outside of this range or may display toxicity within the therapeutic range; thus, interpretation should include clinical evaluation. Toxic levels have not been well established. Therapeutic ranges are based on specimen collected at trough (ie, immediately before the next dose).

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

This test cannot be performed on whole blood.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

The serum sample is diluted in acetonitrile internal standard. The protein precipitate is centrifuged, and a portion of the supernatant is diluted with mobile phase for detection by a tandem mass spectrometer.(Unpublished Mayo method)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Tuesday, Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

2 to 5 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

14 days

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
